"The owners of the as-yet-unbuilt Cliff House have teamed up with Modscape of Australia to design their compact dream home, delicately perched above open water, hanging off the cliff’s edge. Cliff House redefines “living dangerously” with its vast floor to ceiling windows and slender steel supports acting as the only separation between watching Jaws and actually being in Jaws." -- Arch Daily
The home stacks four stories on top of one another to create a series of spaces which disappear over the cliff edge. A two car garage on the top of the cliff is the only giveaway that something's a little unusual about this place. On approach, you'd never guess what's going on below, suspended front he sheer cliff face.
Despite the risky looking design, engineers assure us it could be built, and it would be way safer than it looks. I'm not sure that's enough for some people to muster the courage to enter the death defying home, but we trust engineers!
